Need Help Using Sweep Tool

kepp.andrews — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 00:41:33 GMT

Does anyone have written or video instructions to use Fusion 360 Sweep Tool as this guy does with Solid Works. See video for example of what I'm trying to do. (Complex use of Sweep Tool)

When ever he says Curves, Fusion calls it Project to Surface, and select Vector direction.

There are more efficient ways to construct that, but as yours is complex, would need some idea of what is complex.

Here are last three files and one gif. I can sort of get this to work by making two planes and crossing them with a thickness of .001 and then use that as the path. It works, but I can't get Projection to project from one plane to the other plane because it is not actually one plane. It is several planes after the line has been extended. I can already tell this is going to be hard to decipher. Hopefully someone can point me to a tutorial that will allow me to use Projection to accomplish what I'm trying to do with Sweep. If there is a better way to do this then please let me know. Thanks in advance.

To be clear I would like to project the blue line onto the visible plane and then have one new blue line to use as a path for the Sweep command.
